Yawn..
No one gives a $hit about it if it has "one or two ads".
Not when we have Usenet, P2P, FTP, etc.
Just die already.

Licences only apply in the UK, at least the BBC are trying (no pun intended) these services has been available in the US for a while now, and it is restricted to the US only, where as this seems to be for the world network. I wish people would understand what they are reading before shouting off.
Have a nice day, I am looking forward to this.

Top of the Pops was axed years ago... along with most other BBC home made content that was relevant or worth watching.

i did read and understand perfectly. im "shouting off" as you so eloquently put it, about the fact im still expected to pay a licence fee to them. they take my money use it to fund there worldwide internet infrastructure. they then make vast profits and my licence fee still goes up every year!

Im looking forward to this service. Ill try to get onto the beta again.
BBC iplayer has decreased my activity on trackers, and to be honest I dont mind if there are 1-2 ads, itll be content that is easily accessable, legal to listen to and free. Who wants to waste HDD space on stuff you can just connect to?
Thats all I want with content nowadays.
GO GO BBC :D
